Weather Forecast Indicates Potential for Storms Persisting Until Tuesday
Weekend Weather Outlook for Southern Wisconsin: Mild Risk of Storms and Rain
Residents of southeastern Wisconsin, including Madison, can expect a mix of weather conditions over the weekend, according to the latest forecast. While a Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for the broader region, the risk of severe weather and heavy rain is lower in Madison [1].
Currently, the city is experiencing mild temperatures around 70°F, moderate humidity, and mostly cloudy skies [4]. As we move towards the latter part of the week, southern Wisconsin, including Madison, will remain dry. However, the weather will be hot and humid [2].
By Thursday and Friday, conditions will warm again as winds turn southerly. Most areas in southern Wisconsin will stay dry aside from isolated showers or storms. The best chance for more widespread rainfall in southern Wisconsin will come Sunday, as a trailing cold front from a northern system pushes through the region [2].
Behind this front, slightly cooler conditions are expected to return early next week in southern Wisconsin [3]. Overnight into Tuesday morning, scattered showers and storms are expected, with a potential for heavy downpours during the overnight hours and early Tuesday morning. Tuesday afternoon, additional storms may develop, particularly in the northwest. Most storms on Tuesday afternoon won't be severe, but a few could produce gusty winds and small hail [2].
The fast movement of the storms should limit further flooding issues. A weak system late in the week may bring light rain chances, mainly in northern and central Wisconsin [3]. The forecast indicates a possibility of storms and some rain in the southeastern Wisconsin area, but the chance of severe weather and rain decreases as you move farther southeast, including Madison.
Stay tuned for updates as the weather situation develops.
